Been too long since I visited Nanook. Went today and was so in awe of his tanks that I forgot to take pics
But, came home with these.

Nanook Visit
- Thread starter griss
- Start date
He’s still around, just mostly on the local club (which he helped found) forum.
And my pics don’t do them justice.

So Jason Fox and Steve Tyree were all the rage when I stopped paying attention to the hobby. Yeah they had some nice stuff, and now dozens of folks have that kind of insane(ly expensive) stuff. As it were, I am still a huge fan of some of the good old standbys like the slimers and run of the mill montis, etc.
In fact - I can't wait to get some green slimer going once the tank is back up to SPS spec!

I never got into all the named stuff / naming. I still call them by their scientific names. That said, I want some A. Milles
ExcellentI plan on taking another stab at this hobby soon
Holy crap, good to see you buddy. How the heck have you been? Miss hanging with you.Here are some folks I haven't seen in a while ;-) Nice to see you and Dave are still at it! We moved to Huntsville not long ago and I plan on taking another stab at this hobby soon
Good to see everyone, even Kent
Well, I wouldn’t buy from LiveAquaria, they’ve really gone downhill IMO.
I haven’t bought a lot of livestock online lately but I’ve had great luck with KP Aquatic and Reeftopia.
Facebook groups across all hobbies seems to have hurt a lot of forums. It seems people would prefer an instant answer whether it’s wrong of right to getting a correct answer

I have had extremely good luck with @Corals.com and @Dr. Reef as well as Unique Corals.Well, I wouldn’t buy from LiveAquaria, they’ve really gone downhill IMO.

Yes things are expensive, but If I am forced to pay that much, I am going to want to be assured that I am getting quality livestock.
I also try to regularly buy from an LFS here in Pittsburgh (Elmer's Aquarium) that has been a staple here for over 50 years. The pricing isn't terrible and they do try to be reasonable given their brick and mortar overhead.
Yes - facebook and social media as well as reddit are where a lot of people have ended up, greatly segmenting the information circles and diluting the number of forum users.
It’s been a while since I posted update pics but, I believe I’m truly back in the Acro game. The two I got from Nanook are doing awesome.
A. Hoeckzema (first pic)
Blue Slimer (second & third pics)
A. cophodactyla (fourth & fifth pic, mother and frag) for some reason the frag looks sooo much better.

Looking good!
